The best Wimbledon-inspired recipes
Watching the tennis this year? You'll want to serve one of these recipes for the ultimate viewing party.
Wimbledon signifies many things for us: peak summer has arrived, the fresh strawberries and cream are in abundance, and the jugs of Pimm's are our drink of choice to enjoy while watching the tournament.
But along with strawberries, Pimm's and plenty of sunshine, we've got some fun and quirky recipes that we love to make during the tournament to celebrate with friends and family.
Pimm's is a very versatile liqueur and can be used in many sweet treats, like our Wimbledon cup trifle (where Pimm's is made into a syrup and then used for soaking biscuits), as well as used into a salad dressing (yes seriously!) for a more savoury approach to the well known liqueur.
If you're hosting a Wimbledon-themed party this year, or having friends around to watch the finals, try one of our recipes below to wow your guests.
